A couple of days ago a semi was stolen and used in a 100-mile chase between Ohio and Kentucky that ended in the Summit Church of Christ parking lot. Steve Proctor, one of our members, cleverly observed: “sin stops here”.

In this lifetime all of humanity will struggle with sin. However, for most, it will come to a crashing conclusion on Judgement day, 2 Cor. 5:10.

But is there another way? On Sundays, we gather together as a church and remember the day Jesus died. As we break the bread we discern His Body that was broken for us on the cruel cross of Calvary. We recall Jesus saying: “Take, eat; this is my body” (Mt.26:26). In the same way, we take the cup – remembering the blood of Christ that flowed from the cross to cover our sins. And our thoughts go back to His Words: “Drink of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins” (Mt.26:27-28).

So, every Sunday, in the Summit Church of Christ building we judge ourselves. By doing this we allow the Lord to discipline us so that we may not be condemned with the rest of the world on judgment day. Therefore, while we are not really a truck stop we are a sin stop.

1 Corinthians 11:31–32 (ESV) — 31 But if we judged ourselves truly, we would not be judged. 32 But when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned along with the world.

Friend why not join us every Sunday – come to the place where sin stops.
